*This is a poem that I did as part of a tag I received on youtube. The tag is called "Loc Star Poetry", and it was a lot of fun particpating. I made a video response to the tag today and I hope that you check it out below :-)*

As I travel to the land of my locsthe texture consumes me,from root to tip is a precious journey, with a foundation built with courage, strength, liberation and love...and naysayers watch me,negativity caught in the back of their throats, ready to spitbut I dare them to cough up their lyes....to know my locs is to know me,the natural pryncess that I have becomefinally flying, overlooking the stereotypes that use to weigh me downfinally giving birth to a freedom that i never knew could exist in mefinally outside of a box that became too cramped up with synthetics, finally...being true to myself.and the journey to loc'dom continues, and I shall remain the one who's driving...
